Proud to announce that after a long day of editing to get my word count down to something more manageable, my novel, which began the day at 79,694 words, is now at... 83,522 words. #writing - ThreadSky

Is there any other way to do it?

Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.

I'm at over 130000 on an initial goal of 80000, I think you're nailing it! 👍

Sweet spot is usually 80K-90K unless it is a MG then it starts around 40K-50K. Fantasy, Historical, Science Fiction and some interstitial genres thereof are allowed about 110-120K. But it's better in the 80K-100K range for a first book.
